Bethlehem, Pa. – The fire, which severely damaged the five10 apartment and the retail complex on Bethlehem's south side, was decided by “not properly rejected smoke materials”.
The City Fire Marshal's office said in a release on Thursday that it had completed its investigation of the origin and cause of the fire, which replaced 135 inhabitants and several companies.
“We have found that the fire on a terrace outdoors comes on the roof of the building,” says the press release.
“The fire stretched into the lobby of the elevator elevator class and used a large part of the roof before it could be deleted.
“The fire was caused by improperly discarded smoke materials.”
The former mayor of Bethlehem, John Callahan, director of business development at Peron Development, who built five10 apartments, said Lehighvalleynews.com beforehand that a cigarette piston on the roof had caused the fire.
Callahan said a resident “smoked on the roofing deck and put a cigarette stolf in one of the plants and … on the [security] Cameras … we saw it smoldered. “
“Feuerer investigators from the firefighter's office will work with fire investigators who represent the insurance companies involved in the course of their investigation,” says the city's release.
